You can't always think your way to calm
The Physical Buzz:
You feel a constant, vibrating tension that makes it impossible to settle down or sit still. Dissociating doesn't count.
The Tightness:
Stress can manifest as a tight chest or shallow breathing, keeping your body stuck in a high-alert loop.
The Mental Noise:
An activated nervous system creates a background hum that prevents your mind from truly powering down.
Percy calms what words can't always reach
The Grounding Weight:
You don’t have to "try" to relax. Percy’s 5 lb. of unyielding weight provides the deep pressure your body needs to finally slow down.
The Thermal Reset:
Using heat or cold provides a secondary sensory signal that tells your nervous system the emergency is over.
The Manual Override:
Stop fighting the mental noise. By anchoring your body first, you create a shortcut to quiet that thoughts alone can't reach.

Meet Percy
Percy is a 5 lb. bear designed to be you and your nervous system’s best friend. He’s basically a portable, calming, quiet hug that doesn’t need to talk about his feelings or ask for a snack.
Who needs Percy?
If you’re a professional over-thinker or someone whose "to-do" list is longer at 2 AM than the hours of sleep you've logged, you’re in the right place.
- The "What-If" Loopers: For when your brain is running a 100m dash while you’re just trying to sit on the couch.
- The Night Owls: For when your mind is racing but your body is ready to clock out.
- The Caregivers: A soothing, comforting presence for the days when words aren't enough and you just need something to hold onto.
- The Desktop Dwellers: Perfect for staying grounded and focused during back-to-back Zoom calls or deep-work sessions.
- The Sensory Seekers: Reliable physical grounding for AuDHD, Autistic, and neurospicy adults who need a consistent sensory "anchor" to feel regulated.
The perks (Besides Being Cute)
Percy uses Deep Pressure Stimulation to help your body shift from "High Alert" to "Safe and Sound." No meditation apps required.
- The Grounding Effect: 5 lb. of steady weight provides a sensory signal to your mind and body that it’s okay to settle.
- Temperature Therapy: Pop the inner pouch in the microwave for soothing heat or the freezer for a cooling sensory reset.
- Manual Override: It’s a physical shortcut to quiet the intensity of a long day without having to "try" to relax.
The 10-minute reset
- The Prep: (Optional) Heat or cool the removable inner pouch for an extra layer of comfort.
- The Placement: Park Percy on your lap, chest, or over your shoulders—wherever you feel the most stress or tension.
- The Result: Give it 10 minutes. Close your eyes and take some deep breaths if you can, but Percy does most of the heavy lifting for you.

FAQ
Is the ship date really in May?
That's the estimated ship date, but he may come in sooner! We take extra time in our production process to ensure Percy is perfect for you. As soon as he's in stock, he'll be shipped right out. We promise it will be worth the wait.
Why is Percy more expensive than other weighted plushies?
Percy was designed by our founder, a licensed trauma-informed foster parent who struggled with anxiety, burnout, and insomnia herself.
She spent years on R&D and small batch production to create the best weighted comfort bear available.
Percy has adjustable weight, thermal therapy (heat or cool), and 5 pounds of deep pressure designed for adults. Double stitching is used on the seams for a lifetime of hugs and premium quality materials are used from the softest fur to the sturdiest thread.
Your purchase also helps kids in foster care, so you're giving to yourself and others who need it when you shop with us.

Can I travel with Percy?
Yes. Percy fits in a carry-on bag and is TSA-friendly. The removable pouch makes packing easier. Customers regularly fly with Percy, take him on road trips, and bring him to stressful situations like family visits, work trips, or medical appointments. His biggest trip so far has been across Europe.
Why would Percy help me when nothing else has?
Percy provides something specific: deep pressure stimulation.
Research published in the American Journal of Occupational Therapy shows consistent, gentle pressure activates your parasympathetic nervous system, which naturally reduces cortisol and increases serotonin production.
This is a physiological response your body is designed to have. Most people feel calmer within 10-15 minutes of first use. After a week of consistent, repeated daily use, people start to see changes in how they feel.
Percy works alongside other supports and therapies. Always consult your doctor before making any changes to treatment. This information is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical conditions.
How long until I feel a difference?
Most people feel calmer within 10 minutes of first use.
The lasting changes happen with consistent daily use. Hold Percy whenever you're seated and after 1-2 weeks, you'll likely fall asleep faster and wake less often. After 3-4 weeks, you may start to become less reactive to everyday stress and recover from hard moments more quickly. One hug feels good. Consistent use can change your baseline response to stress.
What if Percy doesn't work for me?
You have 60 nights to try Percy. If he's not the right fit, return him for free for refund. You can read the full return policy here.

From the expert
“Mental wellbeing doesn’t begin and end in a therapist’s office. It’s something we build — moment by moment — in the real world, all day, every day. With over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, and autism, I’ve seen firsthand how crucial it is to have consistent, accessible support beyond the clinical setting.
Percy offers just that — calming comfort for people managing life’s challenges.”
Percy's used daily and loved deeply by thousands.

The importance of support
Anxious? Exhausted? Can't sleep?
Chronic or major stressors can have long-term effects if you're not giving your body daily feedback that it's safe to rest.
According to research* and my own experience with anxiety and as a foster parent, what really helps is steady physical input the body can respond to.
That’s why I built For the Cubs.
We make beautiful, comforting self-support tools that gives your body the input it needs to know its safe to rest: weight, sound, scent.
And when you shop with us, you'll help kids in foster care as part of our giveback program.
